[In all of the above, with "uploader" I mean the person who's name is
under the changelog entry (next to the date)]

It's a bit confusing at first, but strictly speaking,
  (1) Any person in Maintainer or Uploaders is allowed to upload
  (2) If Maintainer is a team, any member of that team is allowed to
      upload, but
  (3) If in (2), the team-member is not also in Uploaders, a "team
      upload" changelog is customary.

lintian and git-buildpackage all check this for you.


In practice, Maintainer is frequently a team, and Uploaders are all
members of that team (as is the case for the ROCm ecosystem). That may
seem redundant, but Uploaders is then just used to signify who the
"regular" maintainers/uploaders are.

For example, the Python Team has hundreds of members and thousands of
packages. If you want to reach the person most able to help you with a
team-maintained package python3-foo, that's where Uploaders helps you.


In some teams, it's generally considered polite to ask the regular
Uploaders before introducing a big change in their packages, even if
you're entitled to do so as a team member. I usually do that.

In other teams, like Debian Science, Debian AI, or ROCm, everything is
collaborative, so "just do it" :)

Best,
Christian
